WELCOME TO Key The Greater Key West Chamber of Commerce has been serving Key West for over 100 years. Through those years, we have seen many changes that have left their mark on this island many of us call home. Whether you were born here or moved here from another place, we all know Key West is different. No it is more than that, it is special. The word special flows through so much of this tiny island, our people, our businesses, and those that visit us.

We, at the Chamber of Commerce, are proud to continue to be a part of the history of Key West. As the oldest business organization serving Key West, we have been here through the good times and the not so good. Focused on building a strong community with an exceptional quality of life for our residents, our members and leaders have worked hard to continually meet the challenges our community has faced. Looking at where we have been and what we see for our future, the Board of Directors revised our mission statement. The Greater Key West Chamber of Commerce works as a catalyst for business success, a convener of leaders, and a champion for a sustainable thriving community. This mission statement is what the Greater Key West Chamber of Commerce has been practicing over the one hundred years of our existence. The three C’s: catalyst, convener and champion are specific to not only the needs of our businesses, but also our community. We are proud to be that business organization serving Key West.

Embracing change

I am a creature of habit. I like to do the same things every day. I work out at the same time. I like to eat the same foods in the same restaurant. In fact, I think most humans are creatures of habit. We like knowing what to expect. We like cruise control. Change makes us uncomfortable… And when we do not embrace change, we do not evolve, we cannot evolve, and so it’s impossible to evolve without change. In the 60s and 70s when the military pulled out of Key West, our island’s economy was in a state of dissolution. The leadership at that time knew they had to make changes to save the island’s economy. It took time and it was not easy, but they embraced change and succeeded in making Key West one of the premier tourist destinations in the United States. In 2021 while creating a strategic plan for our Chamber, we discussed that Key West has become the playground to the more affluent and older tourist compared to the 60s and 70s. We knew we would have to adapt and cater to the needs of our ever changing demographics and economy.

How are we embracing change at the Chamber Level? 1: We hired a new Executive Director Robert Goltz with over 20 years of Chamber experience. His knowledge of what other chambers are doing around the country has been an extraordinary asset to us. He has spent much of this past year building relationships with city officials, business owners, and members within our community, and advising the Board of Directors on how we can make our Chamber one of the best Chambers in South Florida. 2: We have spent time listening to our members this past year. We are not only focused on our tourists but also on our business community. Yes, the workers, the business owners, and your needs. We have improved our communications, social media, website, and PR. That is just the beginning. 3: We have introduced a new committee concentrating on business development. If somebody wants to open a new business in Key West, the Chamber will now have all the information that potential business owners need to make the right decisions. 4: We are growing month after month. It is one of the most exciting things I have seen as Chamber President. I anticipate we will be at 575 members by the end of 2022.

The last “C” I would like to add, is change. Change is a natural part of life. Your Chamber understands change and has been part of it working for strong outcomes for Key West. We will continue to be part of the change for our businesses and community. It is our hope that you will join us in the continuation of building a sustainable and thriving community for all to enjoy.

Our island is evolving right before our very eyes. It’s an exciting time to be living here and experiencing the change firsthand. It’s a bustling, vibrant, and quite frankly an impressive economy despite what has happened over the past 24 months with a global pandemic. Being part of the leadership of this community and this Chamber has been truly an honor for me this past year. I am so grateful to be given the opportunity to continue working with Robert, his staff, and our incredible Board of Directors in 2022. I invite you, the members, to get more involved with us this year.

Feature II Key West Turns 200

ey West is celebrating its 200th year of permanent settlement in 2022. Our history of a permanently established island began in early 1822 when John Simonton purchased Key West from Juan Pablo Salas for the sum of $2,000. Simonton soon took on three partners: John Whitehead, John Fleeming and Pardon Greene, dividing property amongst the four owners. In March 1822, Navy Lieutenant Matthew C. Perry sailed into the harbor under orders from the government to officially take possession of the island on behalf of the United States. Perry hoisted the U.S. flag on March 25 claiming sovereignty over Key West.

The island instantly began to prosper on the back of its newest industry – wrecking. It had long been a profitable industry in the nearby Bahama Islands, and was easily and successfully transferred. Merchants, warehouse owners, carpenters, shipbuilders, sailmakers, attorneys, insurance representatives, and military personnel all made their way to the island in the hopes of acquiring riches. At the outbreak of the Civil War in 1861, Key West was well established - the state’s second largest city after Pensacola. It also had the reputation of being the wealthiest and most cosmopolitan port. Owing to the presence and swift action of the U.S. military soon after secession, Union forces secured the island. Key West has the distinction of being the only city below the Mason-Dixon Line to remain loyal to the Union for the conflict’s duration. While most Southern cities were desperately trying to pick up the

pieces during Reconstruction, Key West was in an atypical position. Owing to the Union control, residents were permitted to trade with other northern cities. Evolutions in nautical charts, navigation equipment and lighthouses meant that shipwrecks on the Florida Reef were reducing. Wreckers and other entrepreneurs recognized the warning sign and transferred into other industries. These men, who already owned ships and equipment, shifted into sponging. To explore the profitability of sponges, a sample shipment was sent to New York in 1849. The softness and wide variety immediately appealed to a number of people. At its peak, Key West held the monopoly on the sponge trade, producing an average of 2,000 tons of sponges per year. The outbreak of the Ten Years’ War in Cuba prompted the next phase in our history. The revolt by Cubans against Spanish rule made it dangerous to remain in that country. Many 10 I

Cubans were skilled artisans who sought safe locations where they could continue their craft. With its close proximity to the tobacco fields, and a similar climate, Key West was ideal. Cigar production provided Key West new industrial prosperity that lasted over five decades. There was also a new economic prospect on the horizon. Henry Flagler launched an ambitious plan to develop a series of hotels along Florida’s east coast strung together by his railway. Flagler examined the feasibility of extending his Florida East Coast Railway to Key West. When it was determined that the project was possible, work on the Overseas Railway commenced in 1905. The railroad

T H E G R E AT E R K E Y W E S T C H A M B E R O F CO M M E R C E

became operational in 1912 and it was the first time that Key West was connected directly to mainland Florida. The Stock Market Crash of 1929 intensified an already-developing economic downturn for the island. By 1934, the city was desperate and officially declared itself bankrupt. The city requested a meeting with Florida’s governor, calling for his office to take charge of its affairs. The governor immediately drafted plans to send the Federal Emergency Relief Agency (FERA) representative for Florida to Key West who evaluated the situation and recommended that the only way to resuscitate Key West’s economy was to focus on tourism development.

Feature II Key West Turns 200

When World War II erupted in 1939, the Navy initiated several key changes to its Key West base including the acquisition of additional land. Before the war, it occupied 50 acres; by 1945, it sprawled across more than 3,200 acres. It invested over $70 million during the conflict and with the expansion brought thousands of military personnel to the island. Virtually overnight, the island’s economy fluctuated from tourism to military owing to the amount of federal spending and the military families who patronized local businesses. It was not to last, though. The 1970s signaled the closure of Naval Station Key West and a considerable loss to the island’s economy. Nevertheless, as it done before, the decline paved the way for a new phase in Key West’s history. Artists, shrimpers, writers, gays and singers took advantage of the quiet and inexpensive island. However, it proved too quiet in the summer months. Local business owners considered ways to attract visitors. They determined a big party might just do

the trick. Capitalizing of the popularity of Halloween, they threw a parade that evolved into the annual Fantasy Fest celebration. In 1982, the U.S. Border Patrol installed a roadblock on U.S. 1, wanting to stop ‘illegal’ immigrants from entering the country. The traffic jams that accompanied the roadblock had a negative impact on tourism. In retaliation, Mayor Dennis Wardlow read a Proclamation of Secession, declaring that Key West was now a sovereign nation known as the Conch Republic and declared war on the United States. Following one minute of rebellion, Wardlow surrendered and immediately demanded $1 billion in foreign aid and war relief. Following widespread

T H E G R E AT E R K E Y W E S T C H A M B E R O F CO M M E R C E

reports of the Conch Republic’s founding, the roadblock was quickly removed. The 1990s and the 21st century have seen much in the way of transformation in Key West. The once industrious Duval Street – filled with cigar shops, residences, offices and the like have been replaced with tourist shops, restaurants, bars and galleries – a fulfilled vision from the Great Depression era. This brings nearly 200 years of history to a close, and what a busy 200 years it has been! Key West is an ever-evolving island with its wreckers, spongers, cigar makers, tourism developers, military personnel, artists, writers and so much more.

FIRST STATE BANK

If you’re looking for a Bank with Key West history, there’s only one – Key West’s Hometown Bank, First State Bank. First State Bank was started in 1955 by a group of business owners who knew that a local bank would be critical to the vitality of Key West. As the community grew, so did the Bank, steadily adding more services and branches throughout the Keys. Over the years, the bank has grown and changed in a lot of ways, but their core values remain the same - a proud, locally owned, financial institution operated for the benefit of the people of Key West and the Florida Keys.

Today, over 65 years later, First State Bank continues to be financially strong and expand their line-up of products, services and delivery systems offered in offices from Key West to Key Largo. And although they may be the oldest bank in Monroe County, their technology, security, and customer service are state of the art, allowing customers to feel confident whether they bank in-person, online, or in their mobile app. Through KeysBank.com and the KeysBank Mobile App, customers can view account balances and pending items, send and receive secure messages, transfer

funds and pay bills, deposit checks, manage email, text, and phone alerts, and even apply for a loan, 24/7. But what really sets First State Bank apart? According to President/CEO Karen Sharp, who also serves as Treasurer of the Key West Chamber of Commerce Board, it’s their team. “Our people are our biggest asset,” said Sharp. “From the tellers, to the lending team, to the call center, all our employees strive to exceed expectations and to help our customers fulfill their dreams and, when necessary, overcome their challenges.” In their long Keys history, many of those challenges have been helping customers rebuild after a hurricane. Most recently, the pandemic was the challenge, and First State Bank stepped up once again. “Our Bank was proud to have provided over $100 million in PPP funding for over 1,200 local businesses to keep the local economy, business owners, and their staff going until our island reopened and economic recovery began,” added Sharp. First State Bank wants to see their customers and their hometown succeed. They donate both their dollars and their time generously, providing paid time off to team members who volunteer in the community. They truly understand that giving back is key. First State Bank gives you the best of both worlds - employees who know you and a local name you trust with digital services and modern technology you demand. So stop in and see your favorite banker or visit their website or KeysBank mobile app to conduct your business online. At First State Bank, you can bank anytime, anywhere, any way you want.

The Special Forces Underwater Operations School opened a compound on the northern tip of Fleming Key, which is capable of training up to 60 combat divers per class.

The SFUWO School continues to develop and advance combat diving techniques as a method of infiltration in the U.S. Department of Defense’s arsenal.

Through collaboration with operational Special Forces Groups, the SFUWO School will continually refine its courses so graduates can meet evolving operational needs.

U.S. Marines Staff Sgt. Marcos Aguilar, left, and Lance Cpl. Jack Richardson, attached to Marine Attack Squadron (VMA) 231 “Ace of Spades” prepare to load AIM-120 Advanced Medium-Range Air-to-Air Missiles on an AV-8B II Harrier jet for an ordnance training exercise at Naval Air Station Key West’s Boca Chica Field. Naval Air Station Key West is the state-of-the-art facility for combat fighter aircraft of all military services, provides world-class pierside support to U.S.

Key West has a proud history with America’s military. With Fort Zachary Taylor on our southern shore and Fort Jefferson in the Dry Tortugas our island’s connection with those defending America’s freedom is of utmost importance. Joint Combined Exchange Training/ Join Planning and Assistance Teams, proving that the Green Beret identity as masters of the indigenous approach is not restricted to land warfare. Though the future of conflict may be uncertain, SFUWO’s mission remains the same: ensuring the Special Forces Regiment owns the maritime battlespace, above and below the surface.

The Combat Diver Qualification Course

trains surface maritime infiltration via combat rubber raiding craft and surface swimming, subsurface infiltration via closed-circuit diving, subsurface search techniques via open circuit diving and air-to-water insertion via helocasting and static line airborne operations. The Combat Diving Supervisor Course trains

operators to conduct safety inspections of divers and dive equipment prior entering the water, and to lead dive missions and operations. The Combat Diver Medical Technician Course

trains operators to identify, diagnose and treat dive related injuries and maritime medical evacuation planning. The Water Infiltration Course is a train-the-

internal defense-focused FMPs that turn trainees into trainers. Special Forces Underwater Operations also provides a venue for sustainment training, annually supporting more than 1,000 personnel from across the maritime Joint, Interagency, Intergovernmental and Multinational community. This exposure to a diverse array of maritime tactics, techniques and procedures keeps the SFUWO at the cutting edge of its craft, and allows it to share operationally relevant maritime knowledge with the Special Forces Regiment. Given the current National Defense Strategy emphasis on Great Power Competition against Near-Peer Adversaries — many of whom have vast blue water coastlines and brown water riverine networks susceptible to maritime infiltration — SFUWO has observed a renewed focus on maritime operations across the Regiment. The SFUWO also recognizes an increase in maritime-focused

Annual “Tiger in the Woods” Golf Tournament A highly anticipated annual event at the Key West Golf Club, the Chamber golf tournament began in 2005 and has been successful ever since.
